Nice buildings on that block.

The building sold for over $7 million a few years ago. Brooklyn heights, one of NYCs most expensive neighborhoods, America’s first true suburb (of Manhattan). Historic with Battle of Long Island during Revolutionary war (George Washington led retreat from Brooklyn Heights across East River onto Manhattan). Church where Abraham Lincoln once worshipped. Treelined streets with century-old brownstones like this one. A tiller ladder is needed to maneuver these streets, L118 very fitting.

Across Hicks St, Grace Ct Alley has the old carriage houses.

One of the best buildings in the area is E 224 Quarters. I hope the renovations doesn’t destroy the character of the house.

I got a chance to see E224s quarters many times because one of our terminals was in the basement. It looked like a classic firehouse and good group of guys there no matter who was working. They'd always offer a cup of coffee and at one time I actually had to repair their phone so I sat around talking with them for awhile. Good times working the Heights.
